Renal protection with glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor agonists In CVOTs of arGLP1 renal outcomes were prespecified as key secondary outcomes in 4 studies done with liraglutide, subcutaneous semaglutide, dulaglutide, and efpeglenatide,58,59,63,64 or were collected as safety parameters in other studies.60 Overall, the prevalence of CKD stage 3 in these studies was low (2030%) (Table 1)
